Summary:
A FSS (Frequency Selective Surface) is composed of metal patches arranged at narrow intervals, and has the frequency-band-rejection or frequency-band-pass characteristics [1]. On the other hand, an AMC (Artificial Magnetic Conductor) is one of artificial materials, and has the PMC (Perfect Magnetic Conductor) characteristics in the specific frequency band. On the PMC surface, the electromagnetic wave is reflected without phase rotation [2][3]. The authors have reported that the design method for the FSS can be applied to design the AMC [4][5]. In this paper, a design method for an AMC by using a FSS which has band-pass or bandrejection characteristics is presented. And, the effects of the filtering characteristics of a FSS on the PMC characteristics of an AMC are studied.
